I am in the process of moving my "web browsing experience" to Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer

Unfortunately there are a couple of sites I visit regularly that ONLY support Explorer and don't work with Chrome

What is complicating matters, is that I have an Excel spreadsheet that lists a number of websites I need for work, and historically I have embedded hyperlinks so I can just click and be taken to where I need to be

SO, my questions is, is there any way to code a hyperlink so that some will use Explorer and some will use Chrome?

I know I can change my default web browser to be one or the other, BUT (as I said above) not every website I visit work in both cases....

Thanks

I have a similar problem in Firefox and use an extension to open certain web addresses in an IE tab, there appears to be the same for Chrome here https://chrome.google...mjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd basically you always use Chrome but certain sites (you set them in a list) open a Chrome tab but using IE, no idea how :-)
